Lantern Sister is still very capable.

Chapter 174 Winner

Chu Deng was like a dragon discovering a treasure and becoming greedy, while Xiao Yuan was in a different kind of anxiety.

"Oh dear, I wonder what's going on with Xiaodeng..." Jin Dahai sighed, looking worriedly in the direction of the ship.

He was on a small motorboat, which Xiao Yuan had somehow managed to cramm in, and it was a bit cramped with two grown men.

"Instead of worrying about her, you should worry about yourself. It's not certain who these people are after..." Xiao Yuan reminded him. How to describe the value of Jin Dahai and Chu Deng? They can't be compared. One is the future, and the other is the present. From the perspective of those above, Jin Dahai is definitely more important than Chu Deng. One Jin Dahai can give rise to countless outstanding superhumans. Although Chu Deng's reputation as a high-level fire-type user is well-established, it only temporarily supplements the extreme superhuman structure in China.

But for Xiao Yuan, Chu Deng was an easy ticket to the World Championship. What did Jin Dahai's future superhuman abilities have to do with him? By the time the new generation came out, he might not even be alive anymore.

Could this be a test from above for him? Xiao Yuan wondered to himself.

Xiao Yuan didn't know that Chu Deng was a level four, and only thought that she was a level three fire element. If Fusheng Shipbuilding was involved with foreign forces, the possibility of a low-level being appearing was very small. Level three was just the starting level, and Chu Deng might not be able to handle it.

But he couldn't abandon Jin Dahai, an ordinary man. If his home was raided, not only would all his hard work over the past few months be for nothing, but he would probably be sidelined by his superiors for the rest of his life.

Xiao Yuan wished he could split himself in two.

Jin Dahai is not an ordinary person and cannot be teleported by him. Should he temporarily leave Jin Dahai to meet Chu Deng?

Xiao Yuan, who was worried sick, was unaware that Chu Deng was wreaking havoc on the ship.

As soon as the ice-type ability user collapsed, drool dripped from his mouth, and his eyes widened as he stared at the expressionless Chu Deng.

Before Big Head could finish speaking, he was pinned down by his ice-type companion. He froze for a second, then a figure flashed before his eyes, and he was punched in the stomach.

"Ugh!" A sharp pain spread, and Da Tou felt dizzy.

"It's only fair to reciprocate." Chu Deng raised an eyebrow and kicked Da Tou to the ground.

"Bang bang bang—" The leader fired several shots at Chu Deng in succession, but Chu Deng nimbly dodged them.

"Drink up!!" One of the henchmen punched Chu Deng in the face, while another grabbed Chu Deng from behind.

"Heh." Seeing that Chu Deng was trapped, the leader fired again, this time aiming the gun at Chu Deng's head.

"Roar—" The flames suddenly burst into flames, scalding the two men who were holding Chu Deng so much that they abruptly released their grip. One of the water-type men reacted extremely quickly, shouting "Boss!" The leader instantly understood his meaning, "Attack!"

After overhearing the conversation between the leader and his companion, the other man pulled a spray bottle from his trouser pocket. Because of his injury, he lost his aim and pointed it at himself.

"Thorn-"

The white liquid was sprayed at the unfortunate man, whose eyes rolled back. He didn't faint, but instead retreated weakly to the side.

"Idiots!" the leader cursed under his breath, speechless at the stupidity of his men.

Chu Deng held her breath when the man took out the spray, but because the flames evaporated and diffused the liquid, Chu Deng inevitably inhaled some.

It was just a little, but she felt a slight change in her superpower, as if it were shrouded in a thin mist. The flames on her body dimmed considerably, and her control over her superpower actually decreased.

Chu Deng reached for the spray bottle that the person who had been hit had dropped on the ground, but the leader fired a shot at the spray bottle, which exploded with a "bang," leaving no trace of the ash.

He would rather destroy it than let her get her hands on it.

Chu Deng couldn't help but laugh, "So scared? Isn't this what you stole from Haishi? I didn't expect you to have done it first."

Chu Deng learned later that Zheng Weiduo had stolen a document from the Haishi base. She was trusted by Jiang Guoqiang and had high authority, so she was qualified to access all of Zheng Weiduo's documents from back then. She originally just wanted to answer the ambiguous words left by that person, "We will meet again," but she didn't expect to have an unexpected gain.

The Haishi Research Institute discovered something from her earth-type ability user, whose abilities had been abolished. Zheng Weiduo stole the information, so the reason why Shi Zhong asked her to help capture Zheng Weiduo wasn't entirely because of the idea of ​​extracting intelligence water from ordinary people.

The leader remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she was reeling from the shock. How could she possibly know, judging solely from their actions just now? No, no, no, absolutely not! She had a very deep relationship with Zheng Weiduo; perhaps it was Zheng Weiduo who told her!

"W-who are you?"

Fire element... has a deep relationship with Zheng Wei...

The leader's pupils dilated in shock. "You're the Fire Butterfly?! You're not dead?!"

Chu Deng: "..."

What's wrong with this person's thought process? However, not many people witnessed the death of Fire Butterfly, and there have always been doubts about it.

Chu Deng realized this from the AA forum. It was mainly because many people outside admired the fiery and passionate Fire Butterfly, and therefore inevitably felt sorry for her death.

"Is that all you can think of?" Chu Deng said coldly.

After the leader finished speaking, he had already contradicted himself. Fire Butterfly must be dead, otherwise the higher-ups wouldn't have let it go so easily. There was also a Level 4 person who was related to Zheng Wei.

That was the woman who made Zheng Weiduo willingly commit suicide, the mysterious fire-type who partnered with the commander of the underground group—the Teahouse.

"You are...you are—Four...! Heh—" The leader was about to reveal Chu Deng's rank when Chu Deng slit his throat. As blood spurted out, his throat seemed to have a hole leaking air, uttering his final words that made people's teeth ache.

"You got it right, so I'll reward you with death." After melting the ice blade with flames, Chu Deng took the superpowered gun from the fallen leader's hand. She finished off the others one by one, leaving only Big Head and Ice Element, whose venom sac she had extracted by breaking their jaws. She even found a spray bottle on the leader's body.

Chu Deng, having reaped a bountiful harvest, sat in a room littered with corpses, surrounded by the stench of blood. She squinted and closed her eyes, savoring the long-lost carnage, feeling a sense of disorientation as if she had returned to the apocalypse.

Killing alien beasts and plants is a completely different feeling from killing people. Zombies are disgusting, dark, and terrifying, but many people who are not infected lose their ability to resist when faced with zombies because they once represented their relatives and friends, and thus willingly die at the hands of their relatives and friends who have turned into zombies.

The first lesson people face in the apocalypse is saying goodbye; only those who pass this test are considered worthy survivors.

After being reborn, Chu Deng relearned to accept the emotions of her family and friends, transforming from a cold-blooded hunter back into a human being. Now, due to her superpowers, she has once again stepped into this bloody world, transforming into a hunter once more, mercilessly taking the lives of others.

When Xiao Yuan led Jin Dahai back into the third-floor room, the first thing they smelled was the familiar stench of blood.

His anxiety was suddenly ignited, and the image of his mother covered in blood kept flashing through his mind.

"Huff, huff—" Xiao Yuan's breathing became heavier as he got closer to the room.

Jin Dahai hesitated at the door. He had noticed Xiao Yuan's predicament and offered to come back with him to take Chu Deng away. Now, however, he was afraid that if he went in, he would see Chu Deng's dead body lying on the ground.

"Boom-"

Xiao Yuan pushed open the door, but it was blocked by something. As the door moved, a pool of blood on the floor came into Xiao Yuan's view.

"Huff—huff—" Xiao Yuan's heart pounded wildly, and all he could hear was his own mournful gasps for breath.

"Yuanyuan...live, live...down...sizzle...sizzle—"

The mother's head was covered in blood, and her body was pierced by the claws of a strange beast. In her last moments, she left only one sentence: "Let him live."

Then, the beast opened its mouth wide, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, and a foul stench filled its nostrils. It used its claws to pick up its mother's corpse and try to stuff it into its mouth.

"Hoo, hoo-"

then……

Then--

Xiao Yuan's eyes widened, and his rapid breathing suddenly stopped.

Corpses lay sprawled at her feet. Chu Deng stood amidst the blood, yet showed no sign of distress. She turned and looked at him indifferently.

It wasn't the complete defeat he imagined.

She is the winner.

"Thump—thump—thump!"

His heart rejoiced—

She is the winner!
